1. The problem is that a lot of people will blame themselves when the LoA doesn't work. Because the only possible element of failure in that hole theory is the human applying it!!!

2. People will blame themselves when bad things happen to them. I lost my job! That was because I subconsciously wanted it! I got raped! That was because I subconsciously wanted it!

3. Because it doesn't explain injustice in the world.

4. It may, and probably does, work though in the lines of positive thinking. But that's a big shot from 'I CAN MANIFEST ANYTHING IF I JUST BELIEVE IT'.

However, I believe that after I die, that is, after and my physical body has crumbled to dust, many of you will still be walking around on planet earth.

Why do you think that? You can't know? It may well collapse. Why do you exclude that possiblity? If you're the only consciousness then this would be the logical consequence. Afraid to go the whole way?

That experience was ........ Well, basically I became fully convinced of the karma concept.

I've heard different explanations for these experiences. But who knows. Maybe reincarnations is possible. I can't exclude it.

Of course, one can always say that I was hallucinating or delusional under the hypnosis. There's no pleasing skeptics. Even if they died and went to heaven, they would say, "I am probably just hallucinating due to the hospital drugs."

That's why I'm curious as to what happens after we've died, lol.
